I'm in the process of buying a 70 cj5, and thought I would join the "earlycj5" forum to ask some questions. I was denied membership, and have no way of asking why. Just wondering if there are any members here that could maybe point out the obvious to me.

Eight months after the opening post on this forum, I ran into the same rejection even though I use a valid email account connected to a real website. I figure, why bother screwing around with amateurs? There are serious Jeep forums.

That's uncalled for. ECJ5 has had SERIOUS issues with hackers/spammers, so it's understandable that the mods are serious about security.
"Amateurs" is technically correct, however, as nobody's getting paid-but it's the best place for early Jeep enthusiasts!

There has to be a work-around for valid people who happen to use Gmail, and there are a LOT of people using Gmail. It's a cop-out just to have a blanket exclusion. I participate in a local BBS board that dealt with the same issues.
